Democracy is as much about norms and principles as it is about institutions and elections. I think that Senator Hagel is right about this.

Also, I hope that Senator Hagel runs in '08. http://hagel2008.blogspot.com/

It will be interesting to see if Hagel gets any support in the primaries. I'd be tempted to vote for him.
